My midi files are all screwed up....

help.....i have about 40 gigs of loops that i use all of the time.....many of those are midi loops that when you drag into garage band...they show up as midi tracks instead of audio files. (i can actually see the little square midi notes) the problem with that is that it all sounds like an electric piano. whether i'm using a drum loop, string loop, synth loop or whatever....if it's midi...it's an electric piano. even the previously saved songs i've tracked...if there's a midi track in it....when garage band loads the song....the midi is electric piano and i didn't use an electric piano sound. somehow it doesn't know where to find the midi files.....and it's defaulting to a piano.
any ideas?
thanks!!!!!

Ya, there's a way that can solve your problem.
1.) You create a audio (real instrument) track.
2.) Drag your MIDI loops to the real instrument track.
The midi will become real instrument.
This works for me.

80 GB Video Ipod Windows XP

Now, itunes will allow me to link my ipod to download songs, but some of my purchases, it will not recognize.
try playing one of the purchases in itunes for a few seconds. do you get asked to authorise the PC? if so, and if you do, will the purchases transfer to the ipod afterwards?

How do I find where my larger files are all at Once

Like all I am getting close to having a full HD. Is there a way to tell where all my large files are all at the same time without having to go to each folder, file, application
Thx Much

Thx Much, I am aware of all that, just wondering is there is any software freeware, widget that could tell me where all my very large files are at the same time with having to go through all the folders/files/libraries..
It is amazing that many large files are stored in the strangest places.

"My Mac was stopped suddenly by a power cut. Could this be relevant?"
Sounds very relevant.
Do you have access to another computer with Numbers installed?
If so, do your files open properly on that computer?
If so, then the problem is your computer itself, which is best posted in a different forum.

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of somgs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried downloading / updating but no joy?

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.

After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

I had a similar problem to you that I have since solved.
At first only some albums/songs were missing artwork but they all showed up fine in itunes. I went into itunes and did the view where the album art is displayed next to the album in a list, middle option for viewing. I found that on several 1-2 songs did not have the artwork attached and so that was the cause of it not showing up on my iphone. However after I got all that solved I found that the artworks were all messed up. Much like you described many songs had the complete wrong artwork and some songs on the same album had different artworks or the same artwork showed up on multiple albums.
I could only come up with resyncing my iphone to solve it. I only use one playlist for my iphone so that I can sort of do manual management and only have to deal with one playlist. So I unchecked the playlist and did a sync to clear off all the audio. Then I rechecked the playlist and did a sync to reload everything and after that was done everything appeared correctly.
I didn't notice if this was affecting any of my purchased albums, I don't have that many so I didn't think about it but affected a lot of them. I hope this helps in some way and that you can get it working again.

I've just installed mountain lion and my files are all out of their previous folders. Can I set them back or do I need to manually put them back in order??

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the response. So, after the computer did it's restart thing after installing I went into finder where I usually have everything come up including my Macintosh HD folder and all it's folders and files.. Anyway it was this that hadn't come up and all the files were listed under All My Files and out of all their folders. I totally switched the computer off after posted the problem and now having switched it back on I see that it's all there and in it's proper files.

Hi, Please help. I accidentally deleted my entire Iphoto Library. I used Stellar Phoenix 4.1 and I do believe that I recovered all. I recovered to "My Passport" for Mac External HD. Files are all mixed up, best way to import back?

Hi, a couple days ago, I was orgainizing my Iphoto libray. Then, I thought that I was emptying my trash on Iphoto. (the ones I deleted when orgainizing) after hitting are you sure button, I realized that it was 209 files with 18,000+ photos. So I frantically stopped iphoto from "saving critical information" thinking If I left it open I could copy all my files over to (I beleive somewhere in finder under pictures?) I thought, but it most have been under the applications folder. Well this is where I really messed up. So after saving every file to that section, and everything was normal again on iphoto, I decided to make space and delete them from where I put them. So instead of selecting each file indivually, I used the select ALL button. Only to find that it deleted EVERYTHING. Iphoto (the file) was apparently at the bottom of the page along with Nikon Transfer, Lightroom 2 and god knows what else. That is when I found a data recovery software program (Stellar Phoenix 4.1mac) 17 hours later it found 159GB. I read enough to know that I HAD to go and buy an external HD. (even though I already own Time Capsule, but I never hooked it up ) was confused about if I could actually use that for this matter so, I just went and bought My Passport an external HD for Mac. Plugged it in, and recovered what looks like all my files (hopefully) did also read enough that I knew NOT to use my computer after this occured.
Now that you all know how I got into this mess, I would like to know the best way to import the files back? Ok I know this sounds easy, but all the files are scattered everywhere on the HD. Is there a way to put them back on my Mac Book Pro that would possibly put them in some kind of order? Date? Image file number? Anything? 18,000 photos to reorgainze is going to be brutal. I can reinstall Lightroom 2, if i can locate where I put the disk. And I also have CS5. Also wondering if the quality of the photo was affected? I did get them back, so I am not complaining but any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Will be turning on Time Machine and hooking up Time Capsule as well. Should I also use my new HD along with capsule? Any advice on that matter would also be greatly appreciated as well!!!!!
Thanks, Michelle

My Office 2007 Word Files are all corrupted. Can't open any of them.

I can create and open new 2007 Word files. However, all my files prior to 10/27/2014 cannot be opened. I get a corrupted message. Says the file cannot be open because there are problems with the content. Then asks me if I want to
recover the content and when clicking yes, I get the same corrupted message. Something happened on 10/27/2014. I have three files in my Word directory that I did not create. One is an Internet shortcut called "Install_TOR" which
when accessed tries to bring up a site called paytordmbdekmizq.torpayusd.com'80314 but the Internet is unable to display the page.
The other two files have the same content; one in HTML and one in text. Both called Decrypt_Instruction. The content is:
What happened to your files ?
All of your files were protected by a strong encryption with RSA-2048 using CryptoWall 2.0.
More information about the encryption keys using RSA-2048 can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA (cryptosystem)
What does this mean ?
This means that the structure and data within your files have been irrevocably changed, you will not be able to work with them, read them or see them,
it is the same thing as losing them forever, but with our help, you can restore them.
How did this happen ?
Especially for you, on our server was generated the secret key pair RSA-2048 - public and private.
All your files were encrypted with the public key, which has been transferred to your computer via the Internet.
Decrypting of your files is only possible with the help of the private key and decrypt program, which is on our secret server.
What do I do ?
Alas, if you do not take the necessary measures for the specified time then the conditions for obtaining the private key will be changed.

7.6 can only find files in the itunes folder - My Music files are all lost

Since upgrading to itunes 7.6 all my old files that were located in My Music are no longer found by itunes. However all files in My Music/itunes are found.
I have not changed the file names, what has happened?
As I have loads of files in the old My Music folder it is a problem to redirect every file individually.
I do have a backup of the computer but what do I restore as all the music files are where they have always been?

Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
Under iTunes Media though I do not have folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
Next - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders there is some other iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14
AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

MY BB Z10 was Unable to Boot after Many Attempts-soon after my files are all gone!!!

Dear BB Support Group,
Greetings!
I'll always been a BB user since then, even if my Siblings are asking me why??(They are iPhone Users) Until last week, my BB Z10 wasn't be able to boot in its normal boot time. I tried and tried so many times, read the other helpful tips from the internet but i couldn't find the solution. I bought my Z10 only last March of 2013. I am not a hard user of my BB because my field of work are not allowed to used the phone while at work. We can but i choose not to, unless breaktime.
Let me get back again to the main issue, my sister let me used her iPhone for 5 days then today i decided to try again to reboot my mobile. I was so determined to do so. I follow the link below.
http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/restore-your-blackberry-z10-when-it-will-not-turn-on
then, really my mobile works once again, BUT i was so dissapointed that doing it so will also wipe out all my messages, phonebooks, images, documents, and videos WHICH are all important and memorable to me. I never back up all those files. I was so depressed at this moment and sadly I was so sorry for buying Z10 and for always defending Blackberry to my sibling and colleague.
Now, my blackberry I think is on its factory setting because it was obvious that it's like im on the starting tutorial and so again...
My Question was:
1. Is it possible to retrieve or recover all my deleted files? If possible please help me and guide me.
2. Why BB z10 are hanging and mostly the wifi connection or mobile network cannot be read.
3. Why it takes sometime to reboot?
4. Why it happens to BB z10? I mean, why when you were restarting or rebooting it will take like 24 hours but still on its 99%, and freeze on that level? so we dont have choice but to press again the start button and start the process again.
Please I wish BB support group can help me on this, all those files are important to me, those captured moments that we cannot repeated again family videos and many more are all gone.... really it was the most saddest day of my life...
I hope to hear from you soon...I wish that it can be fixed and IF NOT please try to manage well issues (Hanging Z10, booting more than 24hrs) like this becasue your name and credebility are your main goal to take care off..
Thank you and advance. Looking forward for your favorable response.
Kind regards,
Cecile

My iTune music files are all shown as WMA files

When I open iTunes, I was reminded that my default audio player was not iTunes. I previously did not want to use iTunes as default because I like to choose manually when I play audio files. But there have been a lot problems with my iTunes, I decided to use iTunes as default player. I changed the system setting to use iTunes as the default. But when I open up iTunes, I got that message. I clicked OK to choose iTunes as default player. The following warning tells me that I do not have the priviledge to do that.
Most odd is that all my music files in iTunes Music folder are all shown as WMA files. Even the files I used iTunes to rip from my CD are shown as WMA. I suspect the Gates company somehow tweeked the XP not accepting iTunes as default player to frustrate less-a-computer-geeks like me.
There is one more problem. The iTunes Music File folder is all messed up. Songs of the same album get spread out in different subfolders. Many songs of the same album show up in iTunes as individual albums in the coverflow view. It seems that I can't download any album art from iTunes.
Any help will be appreciated.

Well if you have songs from the same album that are not being listed together in itunes theres one or the other happening and it depends on if all the songs are from the same artist or different artist
Same Artist
Lets say for example you have one album from....Madonna. So all tracks on the album are from the same artist. If these songs are not listing/grouped together something is wrong with the songs tags. The tags have to be EXACTLY the same on all tracks/songs of the album. You do this by rightclicking the song and hitting "Get Info"
Different artist
This is known as a compliation album, usually soundtracks and dance mix albums where you have one album and each song is by a different artist. In this case you need to highlight all tracks that are apart of the album THEN rightclick and hit "Get Info". At the bottom select "Yes" under compilation and hit OK, this will group all songs under the same album

My midi files are all screwed up....
